HC Deb 14 January 1987 vol 108 cc210-29W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will set out, region by region, district health authority in-patient waiting lists, the total populations living in each district, the percentage which the former represents of the latter and their national ranking by that percentage;

(2)if he will set out, region by region, the hospital urgent in-patient waiting list in each health district, together with the number of urgent cases waiting more than a month, the percentage the latter represents of the former and their national ranking in England by that percentage;

(3) if he will set out, region by region the hospital non-urgent in-patient waiting list in each health district, together with the numbers of non-urgent cases waiting more than a year, the percentage the latter represents of the former and their national ranking in England by that percentage.

Mr. Newton

[pursuant to his reply, 10 December 1986, c. 215–16]: The information requested is given in the tables.

Resident population is not a reliable indicator in this context as hospitals provide services for patients from beyond their district health authority boundaries.

I therefore refer the hon. Member to the performance indicator package held in the statistics section of the

Number of cases on in-patient waiting list at 31 March 1986 and resident population (mid 1985) with national ranking by cases as a percentage of population
